Hey everyone.
Just became the proud owner of a lovely Citation Receiver. Yes, THE Citation Receiver. Perhaps the greatest receiver ever made?
While it has been electronically completely overhauled, it's past life has not been as kind to it a it deserves, so I'd love to get it fully restored cosmetically also. The faceplate is in nice enough shape, but the fancy, funky wood and metal case is in need of some love.
As the pictures below show, it is a combo of wood and metal. Yes, real wood. Were it not for the wood insert, I'd have it sandblasted or bead blasted or something, and get it professionally repainted. It really is pretty enough to deserve that.
Has anyone done one? How do you remove the wood insert? Is there anyone who could do the restore?
